Approximately 700,000 colored and white lights illuminate the property at Robert and Elsa Eustace's Jensen Beach mansion, according to longtime employee Hector Garza, on Wednesday, Dec. 12, 2018, on Hutchinson Island. The Eustace family, Garza and other employees used to hang Christmas lights at family's residence in Illinois, and try to continue the tradition annually during the holiday season.

The Christmas lights are LEDs, according to longtime employee Hector Garza, who began decorating the property Oct. 15 with help from his crew.

The twinkling lights decorating the 50,000-square-foot holiday mansion in Jensen Beach shine from about 5:30 p.m. until midnight Monday and Tuesday at 4545 N.E. Ocean Blvd.

The lights are back this year, continuing a tradition that started nearly a decade ago. Robert and Elsa Eustace didn't decorate the property last year after Hurricane Irma damaged much of the vegetation in front of their home.

Drivers should be cautious as they pass the mansion. Cars might be parked on the grass along both sides of the road. Watch for pedestrians crossing Ocean Drive.
